Augsburg then scored the game-winner on a power play at 3:19 in overtime.

Hamline’s record is now 12-8-1, 7-5-0 MIAC after the conference loss, while Augsburg moves to 7-14-0, 6-6-0 MIAC. The Pipers will next host Saint John’s on Friday, February 13, at 7:15 p.m.

At that game, the Pipers will host an appendix and colon cancer awareness event when in honor of former Piper men’s hockey coach Bob Gunderson, who is fighting a courageous battle against the disease. “Gundy” is also the husband of professor Beth Gunderson in the Hamline School of Business.

Gundy coached the Hamline men’s hockey program from 1976-80. He took the 1978-79 team to a third place finish in the NCAA DIII Western Division. While at the helm of the Pipers, Gundy attended Hamline law school, graduating in 1979. During that same time, he taught business law, business finance and consumer economics for Hamline’s management and economics department.

Donations to the Masonic Cancer Center of the University of Minnesota will be accepted at the game, and will be donated to the Center in Gundy’s name. The funds will go towards a clinical research study, in which Gundy is participating, that focuses on this rare type of cancer. To learn more about the Masonic Cancer Center, go to www.cancer.umn.edu.
